how long is a piece string ?

Answer 1

Twice the distance from one end to the centre!

Answer 2

No all the other answers are wrong.
Well when I say wrong I should point out that in the world of theoretical quantum physics nothing is exactly wrong or exactly right.
As Richard Feynman once said
"The universe is not only stranger than we suppose;
it is stranger than we CAN suppose."

String theory says that the elemental particles that make up the quarks that make up subatomic particles take the form of strings.
This takes the ele out of elemental but it gets worse. Ech of these strings is vibrating in multidimensional space, the thre dimensions we know about which are up and down side to side and forwards and backwards are all mixed up with round and round over and under down and out arm in arm round the twist and boogie woogie.
Most of these dimensions are too small to comprehend being wrapped up inside George W. Bush's brain.
Now speaking of brains or rather BRANES which is short for membranes these are the real stuff of the universe.
Branes are flat surfaces on which the strings vibrate they are mostly rolled up into tight pancakes that measure about two short Plank length across and they are where all the keys you ever lost have gone to.
Now this should all make sense if you remember that according to Heysenberg's uncertainty principal nothing can be measured for certain and nothing can be known.
He didn't even know that his cat regularly went round to Schroedinger's house for extra food and little saucers of cream. Likewise the cat was unaware of Schroedinger's cunning and evil plans for said feline.
So take the square root of a carrot and go forth and multiply.
Then take the sine then put the sine back becasue all the cars are going the wrong way, go off at a tangent, and the answer's a lemon.

Bet you wish you'd never asked now don't you?

Answer 3

A short piece of string is pretty damned short, but a long piece of string is pretty damned long.

Answer 4

Length is just a term to describe a physical observation so who are we to truely decide what the length of a piece of string is?

Answer 5

The length of a piece of string is the longest possible distance between its two ends. (There's a more complicated definition, but Yahoo Answers don't allow quantum mechanics)

Answer 6

It depends on the piece of string.

Answer 7

Is that a double entendre? I'm not telling you how long my piece of string is, you tell me how long your piece of string is first...

Answer 8

a piece string?...not sure but i know a piece of string is this long

Answer 9

Depends how fast you are going, travelling along it at the speed of light it will only be a fraction of the length perceived when your relative motion is 0.

Answer 10

from the middle to the end twice :P

no matter how long the string actaully is this is a way that works.
